The troubles are over, and the country is safe again. Look at this video to see how kindly tourist buses were treated even during the protest.
Our 3 day Poon Hill trek was an incredible experience from start to finish with Hillary Step Trekking. Even with a few days of rain, the scenery was absolutely stunning – misty forests, endless terraces of mountain farms, and glimpses of snow covered peaks that took our breath away. Watching the clouds dance over the Annapurna range and thru the valleys felt like pure magic. Our guide was outstanding, knowledgeable, attentive, and full of stories about the Gurung villages, the mountains and local traditions. He kept us safe and motivated, even during the steep climbs. Our porter was equally remarkable.- strong kind and always ready with a smile. Together they made the journey smooth, comfortable and full of joy. The cozy tea house’s along the way were a highlight.- warm fires,homecooked Dahl bhat, and friendly hosts who treated us like family. Sitting by the stove with a cup of ginger tea after a long hike felt like heaven. This track, perfectly balances, adventure, culture, and comfort. I left Nepal deeply touched by the beauty of its people and landscapes. I would highly recommend trekking with Hilary Step Trekking. Many thanks to Hari and Gyanendra and Dharma.

Doing the trek with Hari was a great experience as he ensured that it was tailored to our different fitness levels. He always picked the best guesthouses and asked for feedback to ensure they had a good stay (and will change the guesthouses that we’re not up to standard in the future). Hari made the trek fun and he shared all his knowledge along the way (we had lots of questions!). Hari was very quick to communicate via email and WA and also adapted to changes quickly (as one of us missed our flight and he changed the itinerary for us at the last minute). I would highly recommend Hari and his company( Hillary Step Treks) for any treks you plan in Nepal: you will be in good hands!!
